Creating a transfer budget for an asset

Some assets don't have a transaction account that can be connected to PocketSmith. If this is the case, you can instead add an asset into PocketSmith, and track gains against that asset with a transfer budget! This might be for something like a car, holiday home, or special collection.

A transfer budget helps you to track your progress as your asset grows and automatically increases the value of that asset.

Tracking assets in PocketSmith

For assets that don't have a transaction account connected to PocketSmith, you can instead add them as an asset using the Net Worth page.

You are then able to track payments towards an asset that you've set up in PocketSmith using a transfer budget.

Assets in PocketSmith are different to your bank and transaction accounts because they don't actually have any transactions attached to them. This means that transactions won't affect the balance of an asset because there is no transaction imported into PocketSmith within the asset.

This is why you'll need to set up a transfer budget to account for payments towards an asset.

Setting up an asset on the Net Worth page

The Net Worth page allows you to see all your financial assets and liabilities (some which may not have transaction accounts), such as your house, mortgage, car or car loan etc, all in the one place. Learn how to add an here: Adding an asset to Net Worth
